🦅 The Common Buzzard in Stockholm
Keep your eyes on the sky — the majestic Buteo buteo is soaring above the forests, fields, and even city edges of Stockholm!

Here are 5 fascinating facts about this local raptor:

1. Resident & Migrant
Some buzzards stay year-round, while others migrate — so you might spot them in all seasons!

2. Master of the Soar
They often circle high on thermals, letting out their iconic mewing call — a wild sound of Swedish skies!

3. Highly Adaptable
Buzzards thrive in woodlands, open fields, and even near suburban areas around Stockholm.

4. Impressive Diet
Small mammals, birds, carrion — they’re not picky. Their varied diet makes them top-tier survivors.

5. Lookalike Challenges
Their plumage varies from nearly white to dark brown — no two look exactly the same!

Abisko National Park never disappoints with its great open views and mountain tops. And it's time very soon for me to start heading back. It makes me a little bit sad!
